These last few Halloweens have passed me by with many regrets on my part, because I did not work hard enough to take advantage of all that things that happen during the season. Since it's my favorite holiday, it certainly isn't paying justice to it!

As such, I want to make sure I do SOME things this year, like go to a haunted house, visit a REALLY good Halloween store, go to a horror movie festival, or whatever.

However . . . how, exactly, could I go about finding out about these events? As the Halloweens have passed me by, I don't exactly remember actually ignoring any significant advertisements for things like corn mazes or anything, so I wonder how I could position myself to have the best chances of finding this kind of information.

Does anyone know of any means? If it helps at all, I live in Texas, primarily within the Dallas/Plano cities.

I'm in your area and we usually get a big selection of 'Halloween' stores that carry various versions of the same products. Six Flags does Fright Fest which can be a pretty good time and includes a few haunted houses. Rog is right about Alamo Drafthouse usually doing some cool stuff, too.

Since last year me and a friend have been compiling 31 downloadable Halloween mixes with the widest variety of songs we can. This is our second annual year. Many of our selections from our first year were recently added to the Jack-O-Juke this year.
